But even then it migth not actually stop the light ? In the toslink/spdiff standard there is some kind of idle signal IE light and carrier wave is still on , correctly designed equipment detect this as no sound , but some DAC's and recievers simplistically uses the light itself as an indicator for "on" .
On SB3 or Transporter this option also serve the purpose to defat another common design flaw in DAC's , by keeping the signal "on" the DAc does not loose lock off the incoming data , that in itself is not a problem , but some DAC's have design flaws where they emit static or short burst of noise when this happens . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
